You can perform (and automate) your GNU/Linux installations without
booting Qemu/KVM at all.

1. Create disk image with: qemu-img create -f raw
2. Attach disk image as a block device with: losetup
3. Partition the virtual disk with: parted
4. Format the partitions with: mkfs
5. Deploy the OS with: debootstrap
6. Install boot manager in a chroot: grub-install, update-grub
7. Customize users accounts with: adduser, usermod

And your Debian disk image is ready for your users.
